Wednesday, February 17, 2016, Cathedral Nite
The forty days of lent are a time of repentance, a time of turning from those things which distract us back to God. One way to turn back towards God in the lenten season is to join us for our Quiet Evening. Our formation time together will include a variety of choices, from the adoration of the blessed sacrament, to walking the labyrinth, to hearing a Godly Play story. Feel free to invite a friend to join you in this lenten quiet evening!

Monday, April 4, 2016, at 5:30 pm in Saint Martin’s Chapel. The Feast of the Annunciation of the Lord celebrates the angel Gabriel's appearance to the Virgin Mary (Luke 1:26-38), his announcement that the Blessed Virgin had been chosen to be the Mother of Our Lord, and Mary's fiat — her willing acceptance of God's holy plan. Music will be provided by a vocal quartet.

Pentecost is the feast day that marks the revealing of the Christian Church in the gift of the Holy Spirit. Pentecost is celebrated 50 days after Easter. The color of the Feast of Pentecost is red, symbolizing both the fire of the Holy Spirit and the blood of the martyrs who have helped to spread the life of the Church. We invite you to wear red on this day in celebration of this great feast.
